Thank you 337 Speed for taking the time to produce this video. This is why I love KZitem - knowledge transfer from experienced professionals. I recently had my 2018 Corvette Grand Sport cammed with headers, cold air intake, no cat x-pipe, and a mellow exhaust. I love the performance and sound, but I'm not too fond of it when I come to a slow stop or let off of the brake from a complete stop to rolling - my Vette jolts and jerks a lot. It's like trying to get a wild horse to stay still. Is this an unintended consequence of a cam swap?

Yessir sometimes less is more. The man-child in me wanted an agressive cam and all the trimmings to extract the most from my trailblazer 5 3. But then the more mature me realized my wife will drive this sometimes and I drive 40 mi to work and to dial it back a little. BTR tq cam with afm delete, all new vlave train from trays to springs to lifters and longtube headers and I'm happy. Still chops a little and its been tuned to perfection and I even picked up mpg along with better drivability and I look like a champ to my wife. That wouldn't have been whaf happened had I went with all the extreme stuff like I used to. Guess I'm getting older and softer.

Just wanted to say thank you for this video!! I have the DOD delete kit, Springs, Push Rods and TSP Stage 2 cam for my '16 Sierra sitting in my garage and have been wracking my brain as to whether I need a higher stall torque converter. I've had a Circle D 3000-3200 stall converter in my shopping cart for the past week but wanted to make sure I actually needed it. Your video made buying an easy choice. Thanks again.

Another aspect to think about is what is the purpose of the vehicle? You can build a truck to be as fast as a corvette or even faster. Low end cams are only good for daily’s and grocery getters. A big duration cam can still be handled if built right in a 5.3 of course you can only go so big. I’ve seen people put 235/240 cams in a 5.3 with a 4000 stall and a shot of nitrous on 3.73 rear end and it’s a nasty setup of course it’s all preference for NA or a boosted setup.

Great video Sir, very well said. My cam swap came because of a lifter failure. So I went with complete DOD Delete. I also did LT Headers and 3 inch catback while I was there. Truck was tuned and drives great, for the most part. Its a slug down low, which drives me crazy... after its gets up to speed its fine. My mechanic never mentioned anything about a higher stall converter. Now I really need to find one that is well suited for daily driving. Vehicle is an 07 Suburban, she's a big girl, but I like her.

I thought you explained that well. Could have mentioned Advance. Could have mentioned events. You did mention overlap. I had a '93 RX-7 w/ a '02 LS-1 and M6, long tubes and LS-6 intake. Because of this manifold, I wanted the intake valve to close @ 42abdc. If I had a FAST I could close at 44, if I had a Super Victor - maybe 48 or 50. I wanted a cam with throttle response and street manners. 222/226 112 +1 with lift just under .600" to be easy on the valve tips and that soft camMotion ramp speed.

Hey hey, hell yeah bro I have an 08 yukon denali too but the sport version not the XL and a great inexpensive exhaust you should look into is the MBRP installer series I actually had one for your truck and gave it to my nephew and let him cut it up to fit a different vehicle because when I ordered mine they had sent me the XL at first then refunded the money and I was stuck with their exhaust still and they never bothered to send the correct exhaust kit smh so I ended up ordering it elsewhere and it came overnight and cost less but they're super easy to bolt on I did However have mine welded and I do recommend going with the black coated if you live in salt and snow area once I bolted that thing on I was like the last piece to a puzzle that I'd been missing all along lol sounds great and doesn't bother the neighbors too too bad when I remote start at 6am 🤣🤷♂️ once I cam spaw it things will be different I'm sure but so far all I've done is the K&N air filter, exhaust and the flashpaq F5 handheld tuner and for a big heavy boat I'm roasting sports cars at the light and she really moves out of her own way!

For a basically bone stock truck she scoots and is fun as hell to drive with the 5 speed and the four point great baby LS tucked in there from the GM factory which I believe makes it a rare truck and I do have a folder of all the records and receipts since new 1 owner including thee original window sticker even lol she's a show truck that can still roast a set off and get sideways if I want it too but yes I would like to get a little closer to that 500hp mark just not sure if I want to do anything permanent far as mods or upgrades being in such good condition and low mileage I mean it's still a baby with only 80k miles on a 19yr old 1 owner truck!

I've seen on forums where there are countless debates on it, but it seems a little more ppl seem to suggest a stall converter vs gears if on a budget and you can only do one or the other. Or if someone's planning to swap out a rear diff in the not too distant future, but wants to get their junk off the jack stands asap and drive it a bit beforehand. I'd love to see you cover that topic if it's something you'd care to do? Most do say do both if possible, which I think is ideal given the opportunity.
